Remind me why it's an important detail why he's diagnosed autistic?
Because the media like to make a big deal out of that. It's like if someone who plays video games does a murder, they would make a big deal of that too.
Really, as an Aspergers child, I really hate whenever an autistic person does something stupid, we ALL pay the price.
I was given 2 satellite support aids just because I am Aspergers.It's not the fault of an autistic child if they do something you see as 'stupid'. They can't help how they behave. They just need the right help and support of their parents.
As for a link between violence and autism or aspergers, maybe it does happen, but not everyone with those conditions is going to be a killer. It's unfortunate that media is now connecting violent crime with those conditions.
And this sounds like I'm trolling, but when they threaten to cuff me for bad behavior at school. THEY NEVER CARRY THAT THREAT THROUGH! Despite them saying that "That's what would happen to you right now if you weren't resource.", but all I want is to be treated like I'm not resource, and they deny me that, so I misbehave to REBEL!
